The Future of Admissions
Session Overview
This video was part of the July 2021 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
Among all aspects of higher education, admissions is perhaps the most tradition-bound. The COVID-19 pandemic upended that legacy system — from test-optional admissions to campus visits. Now, at a time when the U.S. is entering a demographic downturn in the number of college-going students, a debate has emerged about what changes from this year should stick for the long run. In this session, higher education futurist Jeff Selingo outlines what the future of admissions might look like.
